ERP software for manufacturers

Why Exact ERP for manufacturers?

The manufacturing industry is competitive and customers are demanding. They want unique, tailor-made products at low prices with short delivery times. To meet these demands, and to stay ahead of the competition, far-reaching automation, flexibility of manufacturing processes, smart inventory management and good planning are vitally important.

Exact ERP for manufacturers allows you to streamline your manufacturing process. You utilise your manufacturing resources as effectively as possible and optimise inventory levels. You maintain control and save costs thanks to transparent reports and automatic notifications. What’s more, with ERP for manufacturing you take the first step towards the ‘smart’ factory of the future.

Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

You can optimise your inventory levels with a Material Requirements Planning (MRP). This gives you insight into your inventory movement. You can immediately see what has to be delivered, what you have available and when you can expect the goods. You quickly find the correct product or parts with their ranges. Easily convert order and manufacturing advice into purchase orders and manufacturing orders.

Capacity planning becomes highly transparent and an easy to use process thanks to the smart graphic plan board with drag and drop capacity planning.

ERP software as the motor of the digital factory

A digital factory is a manufacturing environment in which software and hardware work together seamlessly. The manufacturing process is digitally operated, with the ERP system as the motor. This central source contains all data on customers, orders, suppliers, inventory levels, machines, products, parts lists etc. In short, everything that’s needed to manage the manufacturing process.

By automating the manufacturing process, you can respond to increasing customer demand for fast product delivery, in smaller series and custom-made. A digital factory offers tailor-made work for the same price and with the same delivery time of mass produced products.

Warehouse management system (WMS)

It’s crucial for manufacturers to have their inventory management in good order. Sub-optimal flows of goods result either in excessive inventory, which costs money, or too little stock, which lengthens delivery time and hinders customers. The Exact Warehouse Management System (WMS) helps you automate your physical goods flow and optimises your logistics process.

With Exact WMS, a module for Exact Globe, you always have access to real-time inventory information, which helps you increase your delivery reliability and efficiency.

Trace your goods in the chain

With Exact ERP for manufacturers you can trace your products through the entire chain. The extensive possibilities for series and batch registration ensure 100% traceability. This makes it straight-forward for manufacturers in, for example, the food sector to adhere to the laws and legislation concerning food safety. But other sectors also benefit from these functionalities, for example by expanding with standard EDI solutions including Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC).

Control of the manufacturing floor with Shop Floor Control

Exact Shop Floor Control is a module within Exact for Manufacturing. It’s the ideal solution for increased efficiency, eliminating the paper flow to and from the production floor.

Exact Shop Floor Control provides manufacturing staff with straightforward insight into which work has priority. It also ensures real-time registration at the workplace, efficiently creates manufacturing orders and offers immediate insight into hours worked and materials used.
